Mehir (also known as mahr) is the money, property, or asset of economic value that a husband gives, or commits to give, to his wife within the scope of marriage. It is a financial right belonging to the woman and is placed directly at her disposal.
Mehir can be set as cash, gold, silver, jewelry, or a movable or immovable asset. Its type, amount, and payment date are decided by mutual agreement between the couple. The mehir can be given in full at the time of marriage, or it can be set to be paid at a later date.
Mehir is not a wedding gift or a payment made to the woman's family. Nor is it considered joint property of the spouses. The value designated as mehir belongs to the woman, and she may dispose of it entirely at her own discretion.
Although mehir is often agreed verbally, clearly defining its type, amount, and payment method makes the process much easier to follow. Especially when payment is deferred to a later date, it becomes important that the promise is not forgotten and that payments can be tracked.

With solutions such as a mehir agreement, payment tracking, the Mehir Wallet, gold and silver wallets, MehirBES (private pension), and Mehir Life Insurance, it helps manage the mehir process in a recorded, trackable way, as part of the family's finances.
